Socialist Party of Canada

The Socialist Party of Canada is a socialist political party in Canada, originally founded by E.T. Kingsley at a party conference on 31 December 1904. The party sought to completely replace capitalism with a socialist economy, and the party was involved with organized labor and political agitation until it dissolved in 1925. In June 1931, the party was re-created in Manitoba by members of the first Socialist Party, and the party rejected Leninism, social democracy, and trade unionism in favor of a democratic Marxist revolution. The party believed that socialism could only work if every country became socialist at the same time, and it did not participate in federal politics.
